    Raw...

    I didn't see it coming and it really shocked me. So real and visceral episode. Each time I understand why many call it "the best series in history".

    the episode that shoshould have been the season 4 finale

    I love this episode and in my view it would have been a much better finale than whitecaps was, I felt this was the most impactful and masterful episodes of a very good fourth seasons, its episodes like this that makes me believe in all the hype

    If you can quote the rules, you can obey them

    Ralph goes through a tragedy and Tony is there to pick up the pieces.

    This is an incredibly well made episode with a number of unforgettable moments.

    There is no way of discussing plot details without spoiling, but it's safe to say that it is eventful, with characters like Tony, Ralph, and Christopher at the centre.

    When you consider how many shifts in tone there are from one act to the next, it can be considered a quintessential Sopranos episode that has a bit of everything. There are great moments of dark comedy, tragic drama, angry/violent confrontation and quiet reflection.

    There is a certain event, key to the plot, that happens off camera and as an audience we are left with degree of uncertainty about who is responsible. It does not matter to certain characters whether truth is revealed and the writers never allow us the pleasure. This type of uncertainty underpins a lot of drama in the Sopranos and it is a strength associated with this particular detail.

    I love how it links back to the season 3 episode 'University' with a number of visual moments and it ties strongly into one of the bleakest show themes of the emptiness of existence.

    Joe Pantoliano gives the standout performance of the episode and his best of the series. James Gandolfini and Michael Imperioli are excellent as always.

    Visually it tells the story with wonderful cinematography, editing, and effects that are very impactful.

    The besst!!!!

    "Yo, so The Sopranos is like, the GOAT of TV shows, no cap. It's about this mob boss named Tony Soprano, and he's got this crazy double life. Half the time he's running his crew, and the other half he's in therapy, spilling all his guts to this shrink.

    It's not just about the crime and the drama, though. It's about family, loyalty, and trying to find your place in the world, even when you're surrounded by psychos. Tony's got a wife, kids, and a whole bunch of cousins who all get into some serious trouble.

    The acting is top-notch, especially James Gandolfini as Tony. The dude was a legend. And the way they show you the gritty reality of the mob life, without sugarcoating anything, is just so real.

    If you haven't seen it yet, you're missing out. The Sopranos is a must-watch for anyone who likes a good story."

    Great episode

    Michael imperioli is amazing as usual. His acting is great throughout the whole series but his take on being high is out of this world. A very underrated actor

    • Trivia
      Though not heard, the song "Sympathy For The Devil" by The Rolling Stones is referenced four times through various dialogue directly alluding to Ralph as The Devil: -Ralph to the surgeon: "Please, allow me to introduce myself." -Ralph to Father Intintola: "Pleased to meet you." -Father Intintola to Ralph: "Were you there, when Jesus Christ had his moment of doubt and pain?" -Tony to Paulie: "Paulie, his kid's in the hospital. A little fucking sympathy, huh?"

      Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Jesus Christ, you did it. You cooked that fuckin' horse alive!

      Ralph Cifaretto: No, I did NOT! But so what?

      Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: So what?

      Ralph Cifaretto: It was a fucking animal! A hundred grand a piece! My kid's in a fuckin' hospital! I don't hear you complaining though, when I bring you a nice fat envelope, you don't give a shit where that comes from! Don't give me that look! It was a fucking horse! What are you, a vegetarian? You eat beef and sausage by the cartload!
